A RE Nl H M ne RANCE.

Gray clouds that hang low In the West;
Slow rain that waiteth not for rest;
Limp leaves that moan q weary song,
Dull daylight, dismal, dim and long.
Half-shadows on the floor and wall,
Half-light that marks the gloom DER all;
Lone rooms with walls and mantel bare
One bust alone with marble stare.
Three blossoms of the heliotrope,
Bruised and broken like mans last hope;
One letter, torn and scattered wide
On the table. on the floor beside.
That's all; except a whirling sound
OF crested sea, of sky and shadow'd ground
A mass of memories-a fantom throng;
An inward wall: ''How long, alas, how long?'

STOCKINGS,

The damsels were from 16 to 1s years of
age, and just invested with the dignity of
long skirts. One maid elevated a shapely
foot on the car seat before her, and thus
discussed present styles:
MA makes me tired with her bargains.
Just look at these stockings! Perfectly un-
salable; but she bought a lot of 'em because
they were cheap. You don't see that thew
are undesirable? Just catch on! What
fool will buy hose with dark tops and light
feet? The effect is awful. Your ankles
look as thick as piano legs. and your legs as
thin as a match. I'd walk dozen blocks
before would get into stage and show
those stockings. Oh, say! do you know
Corneal and have got on a great racket.
When we have on our mash stockings we
go down and take the bus in front of the
Union Club. Sometimes I've counted as
many as twenty men in the windows on the
lookout. L have to scream to
see Corneal teeter out over the
muddy places. just gather her dress I'D
behind and balance full half minute on
tile step as if she was caught on something.
Didn't she just give the boys benefit?
No." continued the stocking sharp. Never
buy perpendicular striped hose. Stripes
going round from the calf up, and( stripes
going down from the calf to the toe are be-
coming, but whatever you do the top must
be the lightest, or it's dead give-away."
